[PyMOL] set sphere_scale question

2011-01-26 Thread Bradley Hintze
Hi all,

I have a question regarding the changing of sphere size in a PyMOL API. When
I use the command as presented on the PyMOLwiki, namely:

cmd.set (sphere_scale, size=1, selection='', state=0, updates=1, log=0,
quiet=1)

I get an error saying

set() got an unexpected keyword argument 'size'

I get the error wether 'size' is a string or an integer. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Bradley

Hi Bradley,

The first argument is the setting, which is a string, and the second is the
value for that setting, which is also a string, to be interpreted according
to the setting. Actually, for sphere_scale it's also not size, but a
multiplication factor to the size.

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk

size is the wrong option,  You want value.  Typing help set at the
PyMOL command prompt shows the following:

   cmd.set(string name, string value, string selection, int state,
   int updates, int quiet)

So you need to change your command to:

cmd.set (sphere_scale, value=1, selection='', state=0, updates=1, log=0,
quiet=1)

Cheers,
Rob
